@Irwin: As a drummer and fan of drumming, what's your opinion on timpanis and "big drums" like this one? Do you like them as much as rock/jazz drum kits, or do you like a drum kit more?

if I could spell, it would read "you ol' teufel, Irwin".

I have a collection of rare antique zimbaphone stirrups. The Mexican ones are ornate and striking.

@Vlad P: Vodka's the problem--for a number of Russians, it neither cheers them up nor makes them forget. All the suffering of alcohol with none of the perks, it seems.

still b/p, that collection of yours...they're actually gynecological stirrups...I didn't disclose that when i sold it to you.

All the great pop songs featuring big drums came from here. If only there were some classic pop songs featuring big drums...

@rrg: Got mine in May or June. I guess I just didn't happen to pick anything that had a production delay :-)

All but the Ken and Andy Sex Tape DVD, and after waiting this long I'm actually quite relieved.

Wed. 8/22/12 4:07pm
rrg:
Mine just arrived. All but something from Ken, but I didn't ask for a sex tape so I don't know what this is/will be.

They even sent me some stuff I don't remember asking for.

Still better than last year, when I waited almost a year for Ken's baked treats and got two measly pieces. I still feel burned by that.

When my Jersey City flexi-disc arrived it was too warped to play so I sandwiched it between some books in a pile to flatten it out and I haven't been able to find it since.
Nobody's posted it to YouTube yet, I would correct that if I could just find it...

If I had a turntable I would digitize that Flexi-Disc.

I feel burned by that too. I'm a digital guy now. I've moved on.

Title is French for "July Was Shining"

Concrete Nipples? And I didn't think any song title could ever surpass Squaw Hootenany

I knew that.

And Mademoiselle Nineteen is French for "Miss Nineteen."

received box o swag Saturday with stuff I completely forgot about including the flexi. Ken's is on backorder as are others. Is this the sex tape as well?

"Reflections" is English for "Reflections"

Yeah Lane!
And speaking of The Kinks, that sounded like their unreleased instrumental "Little Women" in the background, with the nice mellotrons and rock arrangement.

Wow -- Irwin brought the EAS machine with him on holiday? I'll bet he even brought the clipboards and a pair of broken headphones.
This road show indistinguishable from the real thing.

Was Laughing At Me written by Sonny Bono? I think I'm wrong. Mott The Hoople covered a Sonny Bono song.

Vincent could get over himself a little and down off the pedestal a little...based on interviews I've seen and his glowing credit for his own influence and importance. Attitude is everything.

Precisely. I got ATTITUDE. Deal.

My mom's mom did crosswords well till she died at 103. OK, so she had no idea who any of us were the last 25 years. But people remember what they are really good at and interested in.

So Irwin therefore remembers how to kick ass, is that it?

Wed. 8/22/12 5:23pm

@Matt: He's serious, he can only still kick, if you move, he'll miss.

Is this prog or hybrid music?

Do you stereotype in both channels at once?

Good Lord--if that's Irwin's age, just how old is the Codger...

And at least Irwin still does a great job at vacuuming the studio--by the sound of this long track he must be concluding that task.

Wed. 8/22/12 5:26pm
G:
This is so clearly early prog.

Wed. 8/22/12 5:27pm

I was afraid of that, Gringo.

Fun fact: the word for "cliché" in French means the exact same thing as "stereotype" in English: "printing plate cast from movable type" in the old days of printing. In both cases a pre-fab, ready to go idea reproduced without much thought.
